This article introduces the architecture and types of inverters used in photovoltaic applications. Inverters used in photovoltaic applications are historically divided into two main categories: Standalone inverters are for the applications where the PV plant is not connected to the main energy distribution network.
The input section of the inverter is represented by the DC side where the strings from the PV plant connect. The number of input channels depends on the inverter model and its power, but even if this choice is important in the plant design, it does not affect the inverter operation.
In order to couple a solar inverter with a PV plant, it’s important to check that a few parameters match among them. Once the photovoltaic string is designed, it’s possible to calculate the maximum open-circuit voltage (Voc,MAX) on the DC side (according to the IEC standard).
The actual electricity generation potential of a photovoltaic electricity system depends on the solar radiation and the system performance, which depends on the BOS component losses. For a solar radiation between 600 and 2200 kWh/m 2 and year an average PV system can produce between 450 and 1650 kWh of AC electricity.
Several simulation studies of increasing hosting capacity in utility networks are described. Finally, the chapter presents different worldwide field implementations of smart inverters in enhancing hosting capacity.
Installed photovoltaic (PV) capacity exceeded 500 GW at the end of 2018, and by 2023 an additional 500 GW of PV capacity is projected to be installed which will bring us into the era of TW-scale PV (Haegel et al., 2019). Thus, a 600-fold enhancement of global photovoltaic capacity has been experienced in the past two decades.
